This is an easy to learn and totally new Christmas song. Lyrically inspired by T S Eliot's poem "The Journey of the Magi", it tells the story of the three kings travelling to the stable. Some customers say it is the best thing that Alan has ever written. It certainly provides your choir with completely new and original song for Christmas. - Ain't Misbehahin'
The 1929 song by Thomas “Fats” Waller, Harry Brooks and Andy Razaf. Arr Alan Simmons. Piano accompanied. - All You Were and All You Are
- Amen
Many choirs have said how much they and their audiences have enjoyed “Every Time I Feel the Spirit” and “Give Me That Old Time Religion”. Two rousing, up-beat spirituals that never fail to excite. Well, by popular demand, here’s another! Amen (the “A” pronounced the American “way”) incorporates “This Little Light of Mine”. Like “Old Time Religion” it starts gently, but don’t be fooled! From a gentle start it develops into a real rocker. You’ll find the audience will spontaneously join in towards the end and you can have a slight smile when the choir suddenly stops in mid phrase before the final “Amens” come in. The audience by then will be in full swing and will find themselves singing solo! A moment to enjoy for choir and audience! - And I Love Her
The Beatles 1964 hit from their third album ‘A Hard Day’s Night’. Piano accompanied. - Ave Maria
Barry Russell's Psalm 23 has been very popuar with upper voice choirs for years, now here's another in the same style. - Away in a Manger

Christmas with meaning - this is a more serious song that looks at what we, as a society have learned from the Christmas story.

Gavin Southerland's song was a hit for Rod Stewart and the crew of the Ark Royal! - Saints Alive! (When the Saints Go Marching In)
So what’s different about this version of “When the Saints Go Marching In”? Well, it has a brand new introduction that really sets the scene and builds up the excitement; it has a traditional jazz section with parts for kazoos; it has a touch of George Frederick Handel during the verse “And on that hallelujah day”; it has echoes of a New Orleans marching band….. In fact, it has everything! If you know Alan Simmons’ arrangements of “Amen” and “Give Me That Old Time Religion” you’ll get the idea! Great fun to sing! - Saviour's Day
Another Cliff Richard Christmas hit - Scarborough Fair
Scarborough Fair is one of our oldest publications. It was commissioned by the Saddleworth Male Voice Choir and is very much in the Vaughan Williams style of folk song arrangement. It can be done with just piano accompaniment, but for a little more colour you can add a solo flute, or flute, oboe, clarinet and double bass. The opening flute tune was inspired by the flute opening to Vaughan Williams’ setting of Greensleeves, and the song lends itself so well to that sort of accompaniment. The SSA version of this arrangement, with the full instrumental accompaniment, was the first piece of Alan Simmons’ music to be performed at the Royal Albert Hall (but not the last!). - See Amid the Winter's Snow arr Alan Simmons
This is one of the oldest of Alan’s arrangements – but he tells us that he is still doing it with his choirs, so it must be a good one! Can be accompanied by piano, organ or strings. - She's Like the Swallow
She’s Like the Swallow is a beautiful Canadian folk song. The arrangement was commissioned by the Waterloo Regional Police Male Voice Choir of Kitchener, Toronto. The haunting melody is heard first of all in unison, then in two part counterpoint and, in verse 3, four-part harmony. The melody is then passed around the choir, with the basses (or altos in the SSAA edition) singing down the octave in verse 5, accompanied by a tenor counter-melody. The four part harmony returns with a key change that moves into the last verse, finishing with a gentle unison and a diminuendo to the close. The piano throughout provides a gentle, rippling counter-melody. This is a really lovely song. - Silent Night
